[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work at a big 3 school and NO teacher works from 7 am -11pm... maybe the older, single women for which school has become their life/escape or the English/history teachers when papers are due.  But this is not the norm at all.  I make about 60k, work 745-3ish, sometimes 5 and do probably 4 hrs of work on the weekend and get about 3+ months off per year.  NOT BAD IMO.  Could I live in DC and support a family on my salary, absolutely not, and that sucks.   I am married to a big law partner and he works much harder than I... his job might be less physically tiring but his work his more mentally taxing and his job is much more stressful on a day to day basis.  His work weighs on his mind when he is home 24/7 w[b]here as teaching is a joy most of the time[/b].[/quote]

Wow. I spend so much mental energy over all of my students when I'm not grading, planning or doing summer curriculum development.  While teaching may be a "joy," it also weighs on my min close to 24/7 (and since I'm already working 9+ hour days during the week and 3-4 hours on the weekends, I'd count my teaching job as pretty stressful on a day to day basis.  Rewarding as all get out, but pretty darn stressful.  Especially with a little one at home and another on the way.[/quote]
